This Electrical and Electronic Engineering  (Hons) programme is offered at Loughborough University .

Key Facts

A modern integrated circuit may contain several billion miniaturised transistors in a few square centimetres that can do extraordinary things.

This course will give you a thorough grounding in the subjects required to invent, design, apply and integrate electrical and electronic components and systems in various industrial sectors.

What's the difference between MEng and BEng?

The structure of the first two years is common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with engineering and electrical science core skills, combined with electronic digital systems and programming modules. The application of engineering and electrical science shared with the solution of industrial problems is a strong theme throughout the courses.

The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing enhanced opportunities to study your chosen specialist subjects in depth. In addition, MEng students follow extra modules in business management and application of management theory.

Students studying on the BEng course may have opportunity to change to the MEng course if their performance in the first and second year is sufficiently strong.
